Itinerary

1. 1

   Reykjavik, Iceland

   Welcome to Reykjavík, the world’s northernmost capital city. Your journey begins here in Iceland’s unique and imaginative spirit.
   
   This afternoon, you’ll meet the Captain and crew of Scenic Eclipse. Be welcomed on board with a glass of champagne and explore your spacious suite. Meet your fellow guests for a drink in the Scenic Lounge as you toast to the start of an unforgettable journey.

   Please book your flight to arrive into Reykjavik prior to 02:00 PM.

2. 2

   Dynjandi (Fjallfoss), Iceland

   Weather permitting, today you&39;ll visit the jewel of the Westfjords, Dynjandi Waterfall. Feel the freezing mist on your face as you admire the cascading bridal veil falls and discover why it was nicknamed ‘the thunder’. Tumbling down seven tiers over 100 metres, it is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland. Marvel at nature&39;s grandeur and wildlife spectacle as you cruise through this remote corner of Iceland.

3. 3

   Ísafjörður, Iceland

   Characterised by deep, blue fjords, separated by flat-topped mountains, Ísafjörður is the largest settlement in the Westfjords of Iceland. Explore remote Iceland from one of the most stunning towns in the country, with old timber framed houses and architecture. Bursting with a wealth of wildlife, keep your eyes peeled for birds and Arctic foxes on the cliffs, seals on the coast and whales in the surrounding ocean.

4. 4

   At Sea

   Enjoy a relaxing day at sea as you make your way west towards Greenland. Perhaps ask your butler to deliver breakfast to your suite, to enjoy as you watch the icy ocean slip by from your private verandah. Then explore some of the indulgent spaces on board, from the welcoming Observation Lounge to the indulgent Senses Spa with its sauna and heated therapy lounge.
   
   Join the experts from the Discovery Team for a lecture or talk about upcoming ports, then sit back with your favourite cocktail for an evening of entertainment in the state-of-the-art theatre.

5. 5

   Fridtjof Nansens Halvo, Greenland

   Unlike the rest of Greenland, the Sermersooq municipality (where the Fridtjof Nansen peninsula is located) is smooth and unbroken terrain. Here, the magnificent Greenland Ice Sheet flows right to the shore. The peninsula gets its name from famed explorer Fridtjof Nansen, who launched his pioneering Greenland venture from Umivik Bay. This 1888 expedition confirmed that Greenland was completely covered in ice.
   
   Over the next several days in Greenland, countless moments await, from exhilarating whale watching to thrilling kayak excursions and invigorating polar plunges, promising unforgettable experiences.

6. 6

   Skjoldungen Fjord, Greenland

   Glaciers calving, rivers flowing, towering rock walls and colourful forests, the Skjoldungen Fjord is spectacular. Look up to admire huge crevasses and freestanding pillars of ice standing silhouetted against the Greenland sky. On the lower slopes, Arctic wildflowers will bloom amongst the dwarf birch and willow trees. Join the Discovery Team on the Observation Deck as Scenic Eclipse weaves through numerous icebergs in this narrow channel and learn about the archaeological remains that have been found in this region, suggesting people lived here over 4,000 years ago.

7. 7

   Cruising Prince Christian Sound > Herjolfsnes, Greenland

   Carving a breathtaking, naturally formed path that separates the mainland from the islands of Cape Farewell, Prince Christian Sound is one of Greenland&39;s most scenic waterways and a highlight of any cruise in the region. Over a hundred kilometers in length, and flanked by magnificent glaciers and granite cliffs, this narrow passage is only accessible during summer, when the largest ice blockades melt away.
   
   With her elegant design and state-of-the-art technology, Scenic Eclipse brings you closer to the towering glaciers, icebergs and imposing peaks for unmissable photo opportunities.

8. 8

   At Sea

   After a restorative night of rest in your ultra-luxury suite, wake up at your own time. The day is yours to spend exactly as you wish.
   
   Take the time to acquaint yourself with the exceptional range of facilities on board your ultra-luxury Scenic Discovery Yacht. Each indoor and outdoor space has been carefully curated with you in mind. Relax and slow down to the rhythm of the ocean, perhaps using the complimentary binoculars in your suite to scan the horizon in search of whales.

9. 9

   Nuuk (Godthåb), Greenland

   Clinging to a jagged peninsula on the southwest coast of Greenland, Nuuk is the island’s capital and largest city. The area has been inhabited since 2200BC, though the present town was only established in 1728.
   
   Nuuk’s colourful wooden buildings are a visual standout on your guided tour of the Old Harbour. The picturesque site reveals history and traditions that remain strong today, making Nuuk a hub of modern Nordic culture. Discover innovative architecture inspired by the Northern Lights and restaurants showcasing local recipes and ingredients.

    Evighed Fjord, Greenland

    Enjoy a slow day cruising through Evighed Fjord, or ‘Eternity Fjord’, considered one of the most beautiful in Greenland. Stretching for more than 75 kilometres, you’ll be awed by the endless fields of ice. Tall, jagged peaks threaded with glaciers rise straight up out of the calm blue waters.

The Icefjord is the mouth of the vast Sermeq Kujalleq Glacier, one of the world’s fastest moving and most active glaciers, calving a remarkable 46 cubic kilometers of ice annually. Listen for the rumbling sounds in the distance as huge chunks of ice calve from the glacier and tumble into the water below.
